A new user when he approaches AROS and sees those graphics, he changes his way because he thinks that AROS has remained in the stone age !
It is the newness that attracts users not the oldness
Bar & Pipes is a great program, I don't know if it's true but it was said that part of its code was used by Windows DirectX, in my opinion with a nice renovation it can come out a nice program for those who like this kind of applications.
